FAQ

I help you address a parenting problem that is affecting daily family life. We look at your goals, consider the behaviour or relationship concern, and work through principles, psychoeducation, listening strategies and practical tools that you can use as a parent.

No. I work with parents rather than directly with the child. My focus is helping you manage a specific behavioural, emotional or relationship concern in a way that fits your family.

I can support you with parenting issues and concerns, behavioural concerns, tantrums and emotional dysregulation, anxiety, fears and worries, anger and aggression, sibling and social issues, school-related issues, relationship issues, and separation or divorce.

I use a range of research-based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy tools and parenting techniques. Depending on your concern, this may include support with anger management, stress management, discipline, relationship building, communication, emotional coaching and effective listening.

Each family is different. Parenting coaching is not designed to be a long-term solution; it focuses on specific goals and behavioural issues. In general, the tools and interventions may take approximately four to eight sessions to communicate, try and evaluate.

I work with parents on their goals for managing specific behavioural or relationship issues. Mental health disorders require the involvement of mental health professionals who may work directly with the child. Psychologists are trained to address disorders such as tic disorders, OCD, serious mood disorders, ADHD and ASD, while psychiatrists are trained to prescribe medication where appropriate.

I can help identify concerns and lead you towards additional resources when that is needed. If a concern appears to require mental health assessment or treatment, I would encourage you to contact an appropriately qualified mental health professional.

I charge an hourly rate. You are welcome to contact me to discuss your concern and arrange an initial conversation about support.
